The fourth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the morning.

The autumn air was crisp, and the smell of blood in the air seemed to have faded, Yan Yingyuan stretched his waist and moved his muscles and bones in his backyard, and practiced archery again, which made him feel extremely happy.

Naturally, it would be more enjoyable if you could use Jianyu as a target for yourself.

When I arrived at the door, I greeted a few acquaintances, and was about to go to order a meal, when I saw a sudden uproar from the crowd on the street. Countless people gathered in one place and flocked to the royal street, as if it was a regular Lantern Festival.

"By the way, how did you forget about it!"

Yan Yingyuan was stunned, this day was the day of the prisoner, how could he forget about it!

The people of the capital are all hated by Jianyu, this Jianyu invasion has caused great losses to the Gyeonggi area, if it weren't for Yu Guozhen, I'm afraid that this loss will be even greater!

Thinking of Yu Guozhen, Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but sigh, this Yu Gongzi was just born in cloth, carrying a three-foot sword, supervising 10,000 soldiers, breaking the building and captivating in the cold mouth, killing a river of blood, it is said that the number of captures and beheadings is nearly 10,000, and for the total number of Jianyu is only more than 300,000, it can be described as a heavy blow. He was not yet twenty years old, and he was a heroic boy, but it was a pity that although he also boasted of having a skill, he could only grow old in the position of a warehouse official.

Anyway, everyone will come to see the excitement today, and he didn't bother to go to the public office, so he followed the crowd to the royal street.

Chongzhen also got up early in the morning, waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to teach the soldiers who had returned from victory etiquette, and then they could start to enter the city to offer prisoners. In order to boost the morale of the people, he decided to follow the example of Emperor Shenzong, and personally greeted the soldiers who came back in triumph at the noon gate. ”

But the officials of the Ministry of Rites had not returned, but Cao Huachun ran in with a panicked expression.

"What's the fuss?" Chongzhen's heart jumped.

It was a rare day for him to be happy, and there was no need for another accident to make him feel bad.

"Emperor, this ...... This...... Yu Guozhen left Jingshi. ”

"What?" Chongzhen was surprised when he heard this.

In this Gyeonggi War, Yu Guozhen's contributions were enough to make both civil and military forces inside and outside the court blush. For this reason, Chongzhen also prepared the title of Nanhai Bo for him, just waiting for a public announcement above the noon gate. It can be said that in addition to Chongzhen today, Yu Guozhen is the protagonist.

But this protagonist left Jingshi?

"Why did he leave the Jingshi, and he thought that the title I gave was too small?" A trace of hideousness flashed between Chongzhen's eyebrows.

"No, it's not, he has a notebook, and he will pass it on to the emperor."

Cao Huachun hesitated slightly, and then carefully handed over the box of the recital.

There is a seal on the box, but there is a way to open the seal in the brocade guard. When Cao Huachun received the box, he opened the seal and looked at it. But after reading the content, he regretted that he had opened the seal, but fortunately he still had a way to paste it back.

If it weren't for the exact news that Yu Guozhen had already left the Beijing Division, he might not have handed over the recitals. But Yu Guozhen is not there, and the protagonist of today's speech is absent, Chongzhen will definitely ask, and he can't hide it.

Chongzhen gasped twice, only to feel a faint pain in his temples, he almost snatched the box, opened it and took out the paper book in it.

Yu Guozhen himself doesn't know how to write a recital, but Zhang Chi is no stranger to this, the beautiful pavilion style, coupled with the eloquent words, all said is just one thing.

He Yu Guozhen was born and died on the front line, but his family was assassinated in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven!

Hearing that the weapon used by the assassins was a crossbow to defeat the enemy in the army, and this crossbow was actually in the hands of the assassins at the border pass, Yu Guozhen did not want the Son of Heaven to be embarrassed, so he returned to Yunyun.

Seeing this, Chongzhen's face became extremely ugly.

He was indeed a little angry with Yu Guozhen, but when he thought that Yu Guozhen's surname was proud, and he was not yet twenty years old, it was the time when his blood was strong, if he could endure this breath, it would be doubtful.

It was Yu Guozhen who couldn't bear this breath, so it made people feel that he was cute.

"Cao Huachun, have you seen this twist?"

"The slave was afraid that there was something wrong in it, and she did see it." Cao Huachun didn't dare to lie.

"What do you think...... What should I do with Yu Guozhen? ”

"The slave and maid are the slaves of the emperor's family, and they should not interfere in politics. The right to reward and punish the courtiers in the world should be determined by the emperor. ”

"You're a sensible ...... But some people don't know anything about it! Chongzhen was furious.

Cao Huachun Khan was dripping to himself, and he understood who Chongzhen was referring to by "some people".

High take-off dives.

Those enemy crossbows were traced to the future, and they all proved that one thing was lost from the subordinates of Gao Qiqian. Although there is no evidence to prove that Gao Qiqian knows, at least he can't run away from the responsibility of lax management.

Originally, Chongzhen was unable to leave him because he was the only one in the inner prison, so he deliberately covered up this matter and executed several low-level officers. Chongzhen also asked Empress Zhou to tell Fang Ziyi about the matter, and Fang Ziyi was noncommittal about this result, but only excused herself and said that she was a woman's family, and she didn't ask about foreign affairs, and Yu Guo was the master of everything.

Chongzhen knew that he had taken it for granted. Whoever changes can't bear this breath, killing a few petty officials, where can Yu Guozhen be satisfied, especially since he has just made such a great contribution to the Zhu family!

Yu Guozhen did not mention who should be held responsible, but only said that "it is easy to dodge the hidden arrows with an open gun", and whoever wants to attack him in front of the Son of Heaven and rob him of his merits at Lengkou Pass will be the most suspected of colluding with Jianyu and intending to assassinate his family members, so that he will be distracted and unable to serve the country. If others say this, it will be a threat in Chongzhen's eyes, but Yu Guozhen has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, but he has always wanted to be a lord as long as the field house is not a name, and he knows that Yu Guozhen's surname is strong, so he doesn't care.

Gao Qiqian, Chongzhen still trusts, but this time he went a little too far. In his secret recital, he also said that Yu Guozhen was unruly, disobedient to the assignment, and forcibly grabbed credit......

"Let Gao Qi sneak back to the palace." Chongzhen said lightly: "Let him come back and rest for a while." ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun knew that this was Chongzhen's anger for a while, and Gao Qiqian did not completely fall out of favor.

"Send someone to copy Liang Tingdong, lie about his military exploits, and enter the customs under his rule, does he want to get lucky?" Chongzhen was reluctant to take Gao Qiqian to open the knife, and Liang Tingdong, who forcibly took Yu Guozhen's credit in the twists, fell down.

This is Yu Guozhen's other hand to deal with those who forcibly take credit, Jianyu did not surround the Beijing Division, how could he be different from the Beijing Division in his foreign campaign, although Chongzhen and Cao Huachun thought that they had blocked the news, but they never thought that Yu Guozhen had already received information that someone had assassinated Fang Ziyi. At that time, Yu Guozhen was indeed very angry, but after learning that it was no big deal, he just wrote down the account temporarily.

Of course, he knew that the assassin of his family would definitely not be a person with high potential, and the biggest possibility was that some forces he had offended before, either rogue or Jianqing.

After all, he was not omniscient, so he did not think about some unscrupulous businessmen in Zhangjiakou, who were deeply involved in Jianyu. But this matter was used by him to deal with those who wanted to compete for merit and profit, but it was a dozen and one accurate.

"That Yu Guozhen ......"

"Since he is not there, it is ...... to send another messenger to give a message Yu Guozhen is also messing around, just a little thing, he is angry like this, where is the person who can do big things! ”

"What the emperor said is, however, the slave maid thinks that Yu Jimin values love and righteousness and is a good man. He can still do this to his wife at home, and His Majesty treats him so kindly, and he will only be more loyal to His Majesty in the future. ”

Cao Huachun's sycophant shot was just right, Chongzhen finally became happy again, and after a while, the people from the Ministry of Rites also came to say that Yu Guozhen was not there, only Liu Jingyao, the supervisor of Yongping Town, and Sun Lin, the chief soldier of Denglai, came to praise their achievements. Chongzhen replied lightly that he knew, so he asked them to start preparing.

What Yan Yingyuan saw on the royal road was not Yu Guozhen, and the people all wanted to see the Wuwei tiger cub, but they were disappointed, but it was not bad to see Sun Lin, Sun Lin was dignified, and he was a person who would do things, and everywhere he went, everyone cheered.

"Why don't you do it for the tiger cub in the future?" Rao is like this, Yan Yingyuan still heard the constant questions from people around him.

Gradually, this wave will be together, and there will be calls for "Wuwei Tiger Cub" everywhere.

"Such people look ...... Gee...... I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing. Yan Yingyuan thought secretly.

Just when everyone was happy or melancholy, Yu Guozhen finally waited for two ships from the capital in Hexi.

"Childe!"

Qi Niu, who was standing on the bow of the boat, saw Yu Guozhen's eyes suddenly red, and without waiting for the boat to stop, he jumped up and ran to Yu Guozhen to salute.

"Lao Niu, thank you for your hard work." Yu Guozhen patted him on the shoulder.

"It's not hard, it's just panicking, especially when I heard that Gongzi was fighting with Jianyu outside, and I felt uncomfortable!" Qi Niu said in a humble voice: "Little official, if you fight against Jiannu again, you can't leave me behind no matter what!" ”

"That's nature, that's nature."

Zhang Zheng was beside him with a serious face, but he didn't speak, this time Tian Boguang felt embarrassed, and asked the overseer to return to Denglai, and replaced him to protect Yu Guozhen. His style of acting is different from Tian Boguang, far less lively than Tian Boguang, and he sees the same as Qi Niu, that is, he salutes each other and simply greets things.

Yu Guozhen jumped on the boat at this time.

The curtain of the boat was lifted, Fang Ziyi's happy and disgusted face flashed behind the curtain, Yu Guozhen took two steps, and he didn't care that there was a servant woman next to him, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed her.

There was no "strong manly smell" on him—it was sweat, but there was a nice smell on him, like a sun-dried quilt, warm and dry. Fang Ziyi's face was full of shame, and she wanted to push him away, but she was reluctant to smell it, and when she saw that the servants in the boat were smiling and avoiding, she breathed a sigh of relief and gently slapped Yu Guozhen's back.

"This way, how can I see people."

"What's not to see, Xiao Bei is still newlywed, not to mention that we have been separated for two months. The emperor didn't know anything about things, so he rushed me to help him, but his daughter-in-law still treated my lady poorly, look at you have lost weight! ”

This inconspicuous joke made Fang Ziyi's pink cheeks bloom with a sweet smile, and she sighed with satisfaction, her husband is fine, it's good!
